Just came across something interesting comparing how UK Prime Ministers' fortunes shifted while in office. The wealth changes are pretty wild when you look at them side by side. Some barely moved the needle, but others? Completely different story.



Take Tony Blair—went from around $1M to $70M. That's a massive jump. Margaret Thatcher saw similar growth, $10M to $60M. Even John Major net worth nearly doubled during his time, going from roughly $1M to $6M. But then you've got Rishi Sunak who was already sitting at $900M+ before becoming PM, so no real change there.

What's wild is how some of these figures exploded after leaving office. David Cameron went from $50M to $70M, and Gordon Brown's wealth grew from $2M to $5M. Meanwhile, others like Clement Attlee had minimal increases. Keir Starmer's currently holding steady at around $8M+.

The gap between who came in wealthy versus who accumulated wealth in office is pretty striking. Makes you think about the different paths these politicians took and how their financial situations evolved over their careers in power. 🤔
